I’m joining this week’s haiku prompt challenge from Ron, the prompt words Tide and Flesh just seemed to be made for me as I’m doing Halloween type/scary posts leading up to 31st October.
Here’s a few of my recent activities:
I’ve been joining the #red eye scary read along, from Stripes Publishing, more about that on my previous post: https://mjmallon.com/2015/09/30/read-eye-readalong-frozen-charlotte/
and I’ve written a Halloween themed short story for #BlogBattle too:

So let’s talk haiku, I’ve written several this week, five in total. You see I like spooky things, even though spooky things scare me!!
The Red Tide
The red tide flows in
It decimates the shoreline
Flesh flows scattering
Vampires Outlive Us
Vampires outlive us
Life drifts and flows on the tide
Flesh decays with time
Ghosts Harbour Grudges
Ghosts harbour grudges
With no flesh to look pretty
Tide drifts ghosts do too
Wily Witches
Wily Witches Spells
Make their old flesh young and firm
Charms cast on the tide
The Blood Moon
The blood moon settles
High above tide’s jewelled throne
A red shadow glows
